You might have to select it again. I was definitely opted in to latest experimental, but didn't get A18.2. I looked in Steam and saw that I was no longer opted in.
Steam has been updating a lot recently, so my guess is that something wonky happened with the Steam client. It was weird but only happened the once, at least with me.
It's because TFP removed the latest experimental branch after release of 18.1, opting you out automatically. Then they readded it for 18.2.

That never happened to me before, through several experimentals. I also assumed it was due to the major overhaul of the Steam client recently.

 
speaking of luck, my external hard drive got disconnect while I'm playing, giving it a minor corruption and boot me out of the game.

log back on, my bike disappear because I just got it out just before the disconnect. Later on, I found 2 trader that are super close to each other and quite close to my base. Later when I came back to one of them to buy a motorcycle (still outside), it suddenly shoot me through the trader to the other side and then pull me back into the wall near where I was. I was dying because of the flat barbwire and I can't move. exit and relog, fence aren't killing me anymore, but I still can't move, esc button not working. Force exit the game (it was eating 9Gb ram). log back on, suddenly I have 2 bike, 1 where it teleport me and one at the wall that was killing me. My tool bar items are all gone (Q6 with mod), have to spawn them back in and try to remember what mod I had.

Now I'm too scare to go back to trader Jen XD. And I really don't want to start a new world...again.

 
Hey, TFP should keep trees with this 1 HP shtick. Knocking down trees with a gosh darn bicycle is absolutely priceless and it makes me feel like a god. :eagerness:

 
6 days since faatal's last post. :'( What's he working on, I wonder?
I've been on a 2 week vacation following my wife around Europe. My main reason for going was to catch A-HA on their new tour. Saw them in Paris and Mannheim.

Went to France, Germany, Switzerland and Iceland for my wife's part of the vacation. ;)

You should have used some map or GPS, bud.

Hope you had best of times there. You deserve it.

I see a graphics bug, too much blue !!

Unless friends invite me to tour with them, I never travel. You sound VERY similar in that regard :cocksure:

Too much blue?!

A. I thought I had been pretty anti-(dis-/un-/non-,etc.) wasterer for quite some time...

B. Like too much blue is even possible. Almost makes up for all those green (Matrix, etc.) and red (Sin City, etc.) movies...

Thanks Faatal!

That cheap synthetic blue distracts from your pure quantum blue. Can't have that !

 
Since workstations (campfire, forge, workbench etc) are integral part of the players progress, and are also decorations of the home-base,

I think it would be nice to unlock better looking versions of them.

Especially the forge and campfire look very cobbled together.

When the player establishes the base for a longer time, there should be nicer looking versions of them.

Eg: a proper oven (classic iron wood oven), and a more fancy looking version of the forge (made out metal or whatever looks plausible).

Those can use the exact same mechanics (production, recipes), but just look better.

Its basically a new model, and a second - more costly - recipe for the same workstation.

I keep hoping they add a couple of workstations that needs power to work, like a oven or a electric forge.

Seems like a logical upgrade and a nice use of the powersystem to only have to worry about fuel for the generator.

Yes, working stoves would be cool. What I do at the moment is I put the campfire on a block and then paint the front face of the block with a stove texture, and then out a wedge above that with a ventilation texture to look like an extractor fan.
